Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication devices are not optimized for sustainable development and health safety, particularly regarding radiation exposure, and they lack versatility to adapt to different environments and emerging communication technologies.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves an arrangement comprising a terminal device and a connection module that can be wirelessly or wiredly connected. The connection module communicates with the terminal device, forms a wireless connection with a cellular network, and provides the terminal device access to the network, reducing the need for direct communication with access points and thereby minimizing radiation exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If the terminal device communicates directly with the access point, then the communication connection is established, but the radiation exposure to the user increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication path is segmented into two parts: a wireless connection between the terminal device and connection module, and a wired connection between the connection module and access point. This segmentation allows the terminal device to maintain wireless communication while offloading the high-power transmission to the connection module, reducing radiation exposure to the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection module acts as an intermediary device between the terminal device and the access point. It receives signals from the terminal device via wireless connection, converts them to wired signals, and transmits them to the access point, thereby reducing the transmission power required from the terminal device and minimizing radiation exposure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal device is designed to support multiple communication technologies, then the versatility increases, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connection module is designed with universal functionality to support multiple communication technologies (3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). By concentrating multiple communication interfaces in the separable connection module rather than the terminal device, the system achieves versatility while keeping the terminal device simple and cost-effective.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication capabilities are segmented and placed in the connection module, which can be selectively connected to different terminal devices. This allows the terminal device to remain simple while the connection module provides the necessary communication technology support, reducing overall system complexity.
3Speed
If the terminal device transmits with high power, then the communication range increases, but the radiation exposure to the user increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection module serves as an intermediary that handles high-power transmission via wired connection to the access point, while the terminal device uses low-power wireless transmission to the connection module. This mediator approach maintains communication range while minimizing radiation exposure to the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the wireless transmission mechanism (which causes radiation) with a wired transmission mechanism for the high-power connection to the access point. The connection module uses wired connections to transmit signals over longer distances without exposing the user to radiation, substituting electromagnetic radiation with electrical signal transmission through cables.
